Open Payments Data Available for Review
Pre-publication Review and dispute for the Program Year 2018 Open Payments data publication began on April 1, 2019 and will end on May 15, 2019.

Physician and teaching hospital review of the data is voluntary, but strongly encouraged. Please keep in mind the following:
- Records eligible for review and dispute: all records submitted during the submission period of the current calendar year, including newly edited, submitted, and re-attested records from previous calendar years.
